Abstract des Autors

The presented article deals with the select part of problems of sports activities of
German population in the Czech countries, forming nearly one third of inhabitants in
that period. It is functionally closely focused only on history of the most prominent
sports club in South Bohemia, which offers the possibility of truly detailed observation
of German sports club’s activities in a larger town of the Czech interior, with an important German minority, though. The study covers three considerably different periods of the German club development since its modest beginnings before World War I followed by its significant progress in the interwar period and it also brings completely different dimension of activity in the World War II period. Only the detailed processing of this tragic and in sports historiography entirely neglected period also brings not so frequent view of sport of the nation which started off and led the devastating war. This third described period at the same time foreshadows the very end of German sport in the Czech countries. Verf.-Referat
